No one else
sees
what I see.
No one else
is
exactly
as I seem to be.
No one else
will make it thru
my life
always there
with me.
No one else
No one
else
except me.

Slowly I see
what you do
what
you make
with no regard
for what
others think.
No you don’t
no
you do not.
You do your own thing
and
I’ll follow your example.
I’ll do everything
that
takes me on my own trail
my own path.
Maybe we’ll meet again
maybe not.
But
you showed me
my way.
By doing
what
you needed to
doing what you ought.

Peace and quiet
is
what I get
with
sounds of silence
I won’t forget.
Moving softly
beneath the sky
looking
trying my best
not to cry.
For above
and
all around me
beauty reigns
not speaking
anything.
Yet
clearly
I hear a sweet refrain
echoing, echoing
all through
this magnificent terrain.

When I hear your call
My heart skips a beat
My mind thinks of all the things
I love about you
Oh, so sweet.
When you had to go away
My days were grim
My heart was sad
How
My eyes did cry.
Now again
I can hear your voice
Taste your lips and behold you
With my eyes.
My world is right
I’m loved
I’ll go thru the day
Without a sad or lonely cry.

Give me strength
give me
health
the rest I’ll recover
along
with
everyone else.
There’ll be
no shortcuts
no crossing the line
I’ll do it
on
my own sweet time.
So come along
join me
travelling your own path
to
happiness
and
security.
Making sure
it
lasts, lasts
and
lasts.

I have heard
you call
I’ve seen your face
in
dreams
those dreams
of
yesterday
Even thou there shows
no trace
my heart knows
you were here
you cared
with
no remorse
Yes
you may be gone
from
this my life
but
in my heart, my head
your presence
is
still so strong
I’ll go forward
in
those steps
steps you made
steps
you tread upon.

Moving forward is the only thing
The only way
With gentleness and resolve
Make your way
Walk your path into tomorrow
Living in today
Leave yesterday where it is
It’s had it’s time
It’s day.
